Good price. My decision to go Wilwood was also based on not using 25 or 30 
year old parts, and the weight loss that I gained from the billet alum hub 
and the rest. It accounted for an additional drop of some 30 pounds off the 
nose of the car. As I mentioned, the car is used for drag racing, so weight 
was important, along with the additional stopping power.
